With a total floor area of approximately 15,600 square meters, the China Wuye Technology Center was completed on April 30, 2024. By seamlessly integrating with an urban park, the project creates a green ecological building that opens to the city and is shared with the public. The first and basement levels house a public science exhibition hall, which regularly hosts exhibitions on green and low-carbon building themes to promote sustainable development concepts. The second floor connects to the adjacent urban park through semi-outdoor green spaces on the north and south sides, embodying the building’s open and inclusive character through its design.

The design revolves around four core principles: innovation, adaptability, regeneration, and empowerment. It employs strategies such as passive demand reduction, active efficiency enhancement, and the synergistic coordination of passive and active systems.
The project innovatively adopts prefabricated construction technology (with a prefabrication rate of 96%) and over 20 green, low-carbon technical systems, including an adaptive louver system, a photovoltaic-storage-direct-flexibility (PSDF) system, a greywater recycling system, a rainwater harvesting system, and a heat recovery ventilation system, achieving resource circulation and ecological restoration. By utilizing eco-friendly materials such as vacuum-insulated composite glazing, STP vacuum insulation panels, and recycled materials, combined with technologies like light-guiding tubes, optical fibers, and air-source heat pumps, the building’s energy consumption is reduced to just 25.22 kWh/m²·a, with a comprehensive energy-saving rate of 63.06%.
In terms of sustainability, the project achieves a 35.67% renewable energy utilization rate through building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV), greywater recycling, rainwater harvesting, and heat recovery ventilation. The use of recycled materials effectively reduces embodied carbon, bringing the annual carbon emission intensity down to 12.5 kgCO₂/(m²·a) and avoiding 336 tons of carbon emissions per year. The innovatively applied IBMS (Intelligent Building Management System) platform integrates power, lighting, security, fire protection, and other systems, enabling full lifecycle smart management. Ultimately, the project has achieved China’s highest Three-Star Green Building rating, along with near-zero energy consumption and zero-carbon building targets.
